HALO 5 SERVERS SUCK

Topic says it all. I have never in the history of gaming in the past 33 years have ever had as much trouble with connection issues as I do with Halo 5. Granted MCC you couldn’t connect for six months but when you did connect you didn’t have fear of losing contact with the servers. You were dropped from a game making it look like you quit. At first I though it could be my Verizon internet then I talked to many other gamers and realized that its not. Granted 3 Mbps isn’t the fastest but its faster than what i did have in Halo 2 or Halo 3 days. What it comes down to is that any other game my xbox does not lose Contact with the servers in any other game such as MCC or Halo Reach. Change the the message to read Our servers have lost contact with your Xbox. Halo Wars 2 and Halo 6 better not have these connect issues or i’m done. Right now I stick around for the Chief’s story and thats it. No used to getting excited about matchmaking when I can barely play without fear of losing connection. What do you think?

Yes they’ve got worse, the worst part is when the servers go down then 3/4 of the game becomes useless. That’s the many flaws of 343i making most of the game modes online only. I’ve lost track of how many games where the games bugged out or the REQ servers being down a lot. Doesn’t matter what internet speed you have because their servers are beyond terrible, I know because I have Super Fibre Broadband, barely ever have problems on my side and yet somehow 343i’s servers are always having problems on a daily basis.

The servers are perfect for me. Sorry youre experiencing issues.

That’s not remotely true since the servers are not fine.

Examples:
Here or here and I’ve lost track of how many times the REQ system has been down or with weird errors like this.

I was posting based on my experience. I very, ver, rarely have issues with the servers.

That’s weird mainly because I’ve played just as much as you…you must be pretty lucky if you’ve rarely had these issues. I can’t recall a week where the REQ system hasn’t been temporarily down. Either way the video and image was proof that the servers are not fine or perfect at the moment and can make the game un-playable in the current state.

I thought this thread was about connection. The req system is iffy for me sometimes but it has yet to bother me or cause any real issues. If i get in a game and cant use reqs i still have my pistol and can pick up other peoples weapons.

Well when the REQ’s go down…I tend to hesitate from going online because it makes me concerned that the online part will be a broken mess. The REQ’s are there way of ripping people so if they can’t fix those then I dare not even think what the online would be like. REQ’s either way can go down at any moment since I’ve played games where the game just doesn’t seem to show the REQ’s numbers in game but the worst parts in when the game drops me out of game and doesn’t refund me for my ‘exp’ boost when it clearly was a server issue.

Thats the difference between us i guess. I just dont really care. I have fun with it either way.

Except I don’t really see how. Said earlier…if the servers actually go down then 3/4 of the game becomes disabled, which means the only playable part is the campaign plus I can’t see how it would be fun if the enemy is teleporting as soon as I hit them…just isn’t fun for me, well it’s bad enough that I don’t enjoy the game but the servers just makes it more unbearable for me.

I havent seen a situation that MP is unplayable but one time, a long while ago. Ive only seen lagging players a few times, under 5. Maybe im just extremelly lucky. Im not trying to say that anyone is lying or anything. Im just sharring what happens for me. I know other people in different areas have issues. I wish it was the same for everyone as it is for me.

I’ve seen lag in previous games but H5 in-game issues seem to be different. As I’ve already linked previously where players can teleport from places and be dealt damage, it’s strange mainly because it’s not like rubber-banding where the player teleport’s back to a previous location but only the enemy does…kind of like the Spartans learned ‘chaos control’ since it’s clearly not his speed.lol

i disconnect from almost every infection game and every other WZ game since the update before hog wild. Also lag every game

I have over 50 disconnects in WZ that counted as loss

I have grown accustomed to having -Yoink–poor server connection, to the point of it becoming regular. I’m honestly just suprised that my internet hasn’t gotten cancer from how horrible it gets…
Honestly, when Mantises fly off the ground a few times a game, THEN you know true server pain.

Know what you mean. I’ve seen tanks do something similar. Here
Servers are bad enough but the game glitches out way too much like the game not ending correctly like this…at the end of Warzone where oddly I can walk around with no objectives.

Same here.

I estimate that I have been disconnected from the servers 15-20 times after playing more than 2000 matchmaking games, so that is a reliability rate of better than 99 percent. I am starting to suspect that the problem might be much more prevalent in certain regions.

OP is definitely right about the servers being terrible. I get dashboarded mid game a few times a day but that is with a lot of playing time. But then again I have played on things with way worse servers then this possible not through xbox or anything but some terrible computer games with bad servers.

Those -Yoink- servers man… This -Yoink- happen to me many times a day too…

I don’t see anything better about the servers.
In fact, I agree. They got more unreliable. So many disconnects, etc.

While I have problems since the start with H5 servers(latency, lag, shots not registering, getting shot through wall, dying from 2-3 shots instead of more needed), I never was disconnected as often.

Well I commented on this earlier and for me proves it to me that i was right and a lot people here arent just full of it. Just got kicked mid game. This is normal tho, but if no one is un happy about it wont ever get fixed.
